Quizically

I was trying to portray that feeling of being under suspicion with the kind of carefree "yeah whatever" mindset of a child. Yeah, I know the title kinda sucks.

One eyebrow raised quizzically Quizzically, that’s a good word For the arch of that caterpillar on your forehead. Your eyes are green. Greener than usual, I think. I can’t be sure I never really paid attention. And I think one of them is squinting Sort of, and there! It flinched, I saw it. Your mouth flinched too No, that’s not the right word. Quivering, that’s it, or trembling, I guess. Your whole body is shivering Shaking, up and down and side to side Kind of like those brushes in car washes The ones that make that annoying squeaking sound when They scrape against your soapy car window. Anyways, seriously, you look ridiculous shaking like that. Stop it, okay?
